Bug Description
Jaunty linux-2.6.28-5
If I disable wifi using the hardware switch I can't reenable it, unless I reload the 2 iwl modules
I have an intel 5100 card, and a dell latitude E6400 laptop.

Hi Nicolò,
This sounds similar to bug 193970 which we anticipated would be fixed for Jaunty. Can you provide some additional information:
sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log signature > version_ signature. log
dmesg > dmesg.log
cat /proc/version_
It would also be good to capture your dmesg output after you've disabled the wifi, can't renable it, and then have to reload the module.
Thanks.
